5000 lumens is a parameter often seen in LED fixtures, this guide will explain the brightness of 5000 lumens and the application of 5000 lumens to help you make a better choice when buying the fixture.

The relationship between lumens and wattage

Lumens represent the amount of visible light emitted by a light source. Generally speaking, the higher the number of lumens, the brighter the corresponding brightness.

Wattage is used as a measure of the energy consumed by the lamps and lanterns indicators, when the lamps and lanterns of the higher wattage, lamps and lanterns need more power, power consumption is relatively speaking also higher. LED lamps and lanterns compared to traditional lamps have a higher luminous efficacy, traditional lamps and lanterns most of the need for 300-400 watts in order to send out the 5000 lumens of brightness, while the LED lamps and lanterns only need to 40-50 watts can reach the same brightness, so LED lamps have significant energy saving advantages. LED lights have significant energy saving advantages.

How bright is 5000 lumens

If you use the standard 60 watt incandescent bulb brightness to compare, 60 watt incandescent bulb can emit lumens brightness of about 800 lumens, with 5000 lumens to convert then it is equivalent to 60 watt incandescent lamps more than 6 times the brightness.

This brightness is enough to illuminate a large area, in general, 5000 lumens can be very good to illuminate 250-500 square feet of the area, the specific also need to look at the space to be illuminated corresponding to the specific needs.

For example, in the garage or workplace such as the need for clearer light, 5000 lumens can cover an area of about 250 square feet, in this range can provide light is more adequate; however, if it is in the outdoor just used to illuminate the environment, 500 square feet of the range can also be easily covered.

What lights have 5000 lumens

For LED lights, 5000 lumens is not difficult to do, common will be used to 5000 lumens of light fixtures are as follows:

1. LED high bay light: in the commercial lighting or warehouse this kind of larger space than the use of LED high bay light is more common, 5000 lumens led high bay light can not only for these large space to bring enough light, at the same time can also be effective for these large places to save the cost of electricity.
2. LED flood lights: for parking lots, driveways, commercial building exteriors and other outdoor environments, 5000 watt flood lights can provide excellent coverage to enhance the visibility and safety of these outdoor environments at night.
3. LED work light: In some construction sites or work shop, 5000 lumens work light can provide more concentrated and clear light, to help improve the efficiency of work in the workshop and work scene.
